Custom plans are limitless. We provide a few examples based on your description and then we customize however you wish.

Construction costs are typically the same as traditional new construction in your area. If extensive excavation is required cost can rise 10% to 15% depending on your site conditions. $200 to $450 per square foot is the typical SF range for these completed fire resistant houses. Making an 1800 square foot house $360,000 to $720,000+. This is for your completed project with materials and other's labor. Less when you DIY the portions that you can do. When you do a lot yourself on your project can be as low as $200,000.

 

The base structure proportions in concrete &/or steel and treated wood typically cost around $100 to $130 PSF.
